A PUB in Selby is looking for little elves to help spread festive cheer this Christmas.

The George Inn is partnering with York Hospital to collect gifts for the children’s ward, which will be delivered on December 22.

Customers are invited to pick a gift tag from the pub's ‘Giving Tree.’ Each card provides the age and gender of a patient to buy a gift for. General Manager, Richard Seaman, said: “We wanted to do something special and make Christmas a little brighter for the children.”
